It's a built-in Windows accessibility feature. It's available in XP,
Vista and Windows 7.

It changes the screen rendering, not just in the browser but for the
entire interface. The default is black background with slightly
enlarged white lettering, but there are other setting available. Black
background/yellow lettering is popular, I understand, for many people
with low vision.

Here's a video demo <http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1341760/high_contrast_mode_for_windows/
>. (Sorry, you may have to sit through an ad.) Notice in the demo
video, the "metacafe" logo on the top left of the browser window (the
browser in the *video*, not the browser window you are visiting the
Web page through). When the high contrast mode activates, this image
disappears, but other images remain.
